i can’t stand megathreads – no one reads these! no one wants their posts banished there!
The worst part about this is that even though most of the people in the comments can see how painfully fake this story is, there’s at least some people on the first post arguing in ernest about the story’s “plausibility”. Tells you everything you need to know about redditors, really. And that’s not even getting into the tens of thousands of upvotes this drivel got even when everyone was actively making fun of the story for how fake it is in the comments.
